The incestuous bleeding of the Republican Party

Rich Beeson moved from the RNC to the Romney Campaign as its Political Director. Jeff Larson moved from FLS Connect to the RNC.

FLS Connect continued to get business from the RNC and also got business from Team Romney. But now Targeted Victory enters the picture.

Targeted Victory, LLC’s principal office is the same office in St. Paul, MN that FLS Connect, LLC lists as its own principle office. Targeted Victory’s manager is Tony Feather, who is the F in FLS Connect.

Rich Beeson, who used to work for FLS Connect, is now with Team Romney and Team Romney awards a contract to Targeted Victory, LLC for its digital work with Zac Moffatt as Digital Director of the campaign.

That’s really the point here. Argue what you will over Romney’s campaign strategy. Personally I think this was an election of perception and nobody can win when the media controls the narrative. But this crusty swamp of the same-old power whores has got to be drained.

Until we clean up the GOP establishment and they burn in hell, no victory is worth winning.

What’s fascinating to me is how none of the people who blew this election have suffered in any noticeable way. Karl Rove, for example, is still on FOX and still treated as some kind of serious authority despite wasting hundreds of millions of donor dollars. If anything, they’re demanding more “sacrifices” from us to cover for their defeat.

I thought you guys loved capitalism and the market? All this hypocritical bleating about “regulations” and “ethics.” Who’s going to regulate this stuff? The government? Apparently what’s good for the goose sticks in your the craw when you’re forced to choke it down.

The “conservative movement” turned into Conservative Inc. where making money, staying connected, and being part of the Beltway Clique — and the trappings that came with that clique — were all that really mattered.

For many, it’s a lot nicer to live it up in the Imperial Capital than return back to the cornfields of Iowa or some other forsaken place (right, Dick Lugar?)

Oh, and then there’s Hollywood and the Manhattan set. If only conservatives could control and become the gatekeepers of the Hollywood and Manhattan set would we have it made. We could get liberals to sell out on their principles just to get on the other side of the velvet rope.

I’m all for the government regulating the hell out of community organizers and other agitators during a political campaign. We need to put the screws to the Democrats’ GOTV operations — and a cruel operation at that! — by taxing and regulating them out of existence. No one should be dragged to the polls to vote against their economic interests. NO ONE.

Why, we could generate new revenue by levying a heavy tax on urban community groups and then redistribute that $$$ to underprivileged rural areas that lack that kind of organizing potential. I’m sure there are plenty of rural groups in deep, deep red counties that could put that revenue extracted from ACORN to good use.

We could reach out to a lot of communities with that money that have been cast aside by the political process and help them pull the lever for the GOP.

66 Canal Center Plaza is also why Jeff Larson, the Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee, should not be put in charge of the autopsy of the GOP’s defeat. Multiple sources confirm to me that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has already put Larson in charge of the so called autopsy.

Yes, well Reince Priebus is responsible for at least one rigged vote at the R national convention in Tampa so he’s as crooked as the rest.
